    ‘Upon request by Uganda Football Players Association (UFPA), FUFA has offered to meet the Surgery expenses of 5m UGX for Isa Sekatawa. The Players Association headed by Ntege Patrick, Edward Kalungi, Paul Mukatabala and Lawrence Kizito made the request to FUFA for consideration with contribution to Sekatawa’s current state of health’ said FUFA Deputy CEO Humphrey Mandu during the weekly press conference.

    ‘Paul Ssali who played with Sekatawa for the Uganda Cranes in the 80s was another instrumental figure in ensuring that FUFA responds to this call’

    Isa Sekatawa who was also referred to as ‘Sokatabu and Golden Boy’ played for the Uganda Cranes, Express FC, Nytil FC and KCC FC in the 80s and early 90s.

    FUFA is hopeful that the rest of the football fraternity will join the cause and help Sekatawa recover from the injury.

      The campaign will be open to the general public to summit their entries for a month starting today (22nd March 2017) to 22nd April.

    FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo presented the Uganda Cranes historic jerseys to H.E Stephanie Rivoal Ambassador of France to Uganda with captain Geoffrey Massa’s jersey. Yunus Sentamu and Hassan Wasswa jerseys were also given to the France Military team officials who visited FUFA House on Wednesday.

      ‘We open a campaign whereby for one month starting today  will be running for any Ugandan, or group of Ugandans or organisation that is interested in coming up with the new design’ he indicated.

      The entries will be open in three categories including the  Uganda Cranes (men), Crested Cranes (women) and the other subsequent national teams that will be worn by the Sand Cranes (national beach soccer team), Futsal,  National junior teams for mena nd women (Kobs (U23), Hippos (U20) and Cubs (U17)).
